I never knew you could make so much at istockphoto? Has anyone else tried that? Do you need to be an awesome photographer, do you have to be lucky? What sort of photos are best?
- hellweaver666 16y agoI make about $20 a month from two photos I uploaded about three years ago. One is a picture of a dolphin jumping out of the sea that I took while hanging off a boat on holiday and the other picture was a picture of my toilet roll and holder taken in my bathroom at home. I just convert it to credits and spend on iStock but yeah, the potential is there if you have good skills. I hear it's much harder to get photos approved now though.
- kreci 16y agoYou just need to fill some profitable niche and you can make a way more. I know people that make 5 figures on istockphoto.
- ErrantX 16y ago> Do you need to be an awesome photographer, do you have to be lucky? No. You need a decent camera (as in a fairly expensive SLR model) and to know what people are looking for on Stock photo sites. kreci seems pretty good at it - he's got a huge portfolio containing lots of very similar photo's (which is what you usually get) covering all the themes that are popular on stock photo sites. If you want to do well his portfolio is good inspiration :) There are people earning a lot more than this.
